What You Should Be Reading
Manolo says, Mr. Henry on the importance of ratio.
Baking always seems to be more wizardry than science. While rolling dough you must pay special attention to keep the butter from melting. With confidence only gained by experience, that is, the experience of failure, you must administer timely applications of ice water.
But go read the whole thing.

I am amazed at the amount of science that is inherent in the art of baking; chemical reactions, the importance of order of ingredients, etc… It’s a wonder anything I bake ever turns out right!
